Driving Sustainability with Smart Energy Choices 💡 Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of sustainable development and a key driver of economic growth. By implementing energy-efficient practices, businesses can significantly reduce operational costs and enhance their competitive edge. According to the International Energy Agency, improving energy efficiency could save the global economy up to USD 500 billion annually by 2030. Investing in energy efficiency not only lowers energy bills but also increases property values and creates jobs. It's a strategic move that benefits both the bottom line and the environment. Join us in making smart energy choices that drive financial performance and sustainability. Together, we can build a more resilient and prosperous future. 🌱 #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #ClimateAction #SmartChoices #ESG

Indonesia has the lowest percentage of private sector loans relative to GDP among its ASEAN peers, standing at just 36%, which is significantly lower compared to other countries in the region. Although most citizens have access to financial services in Indonesia, a considerable number still struggle to utilize the services effectively. According to BCG, many individuals do not take advantage of products such as loans, wealth management, and insurance. Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) is strongly committed to encouraging the improvement of the national financial literacy and inclusion indices with the following three missions: ◾ Utilization of digital technology to improve the financial literacy index. ◾ Building and enhancing strategic alliances in the implementation of financial literacy and education programs. ◾Expanding access to and availability of inclusive financial products and services. One of our key investments Akulaku Group is also addressing this issue as a leading consumer fintech platform headquartered in Indonesia. It aspires to serve 100 million people across Southeast Asia in five years with comprehensive digital financial services, covering digital banking, consumer credit, insurance, and wealth management. Akulaku currently boasts over 32 million registered users and has facilitated over 295 million transactions in its marketplace.

Did you know that 97% of businesses in Southeast Asia are Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)?    Despite their critical role in the economy, 52% of these SMEs face credit constraints, limiting their ability to grow. At the same time, more than 70% of the region’s population remains underbanked or unbanked, highlighting a significant financing gap across the region and a lack of financial inclusion.   The rapid adoption of digital financial services is creating an unprecedented opportunity for fintech companies to address this gap. By lowering the barriers imposed by traditional banks and offering innovative, accessible financial solutions, fintechs are empowering both individuals and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). These firms are helping to bridge the financing divide by providing affordable digital financial tools that meet the needs of the underserved.   Private markets are playing a pivotal role in this transformation. Through strategic funding and support, investors are helping fintech companies scale their operations and drive growth, contributing to the overall development of Southeast Asia’s financial ecosystem.   At Silverhorn, we are proud to be a part of an exciting time for the region as fintech continues to unlock opportunities for social progress and financial inclusion #privateequity #fintech #SME #financialinclusion #emergingmarkets #digitalbank #impactinvestment #sustainability #startup #technology #innovation #Silverhorn #ESG
